To the American People: We believe the criminal conspiracies in restraint of trade commonly known as trusts, which .:o alarmingly char acterize the present times, are a men ace to liberty. They close the doors of business opportunity to all but the rich and powerful. They impoverish the producer and consumer. They degrade labor. They have seized upon the ave nues of transportation and poisoned the fountains of public information. They debauch the elective franchise. They are public enemies. Unless they are overthrown there will be establish ed in free America a monied oligarchy on the one hand and a serfdom of the masses of the people on 'the other. They must be destroyed or free gov ernment is lost. The only power ca pable of successfully combatting the tyranny of these gigantic capitalistic monopolies is the aroused and organ ized hosts of the poople to whom the government and the country rightfully belong and in whom all power of right inheres. Our republic was horn of the love of liberty which in 1776 impelled the fathers to rebel against the tyranny of the English monarch and the special privileges of the British aristocracy, and which inspired them to pledge to the cause of human freedom their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor. The same love of liberty destroyed the aristocratic institution of slavery, a power once fortified in the courts and entrenched in the constitution. That same spirit now will suffice to overthrow the new slavery and ty ranny of the trusts. In order to restore the equal rights of the people and deliver them from the criminal despoliation of these monopolistic combinations it is im perative that the special privileges which created and foster them be up rooted and forever destroyed. This herculean task can only be ac complished by the organization of the lovers of freedom in every part of the Headache for Forty Years. For forty years I suffered from sick head ache.

My nerves were so unstrung that I could not control myself to utter a sound and the least noise caused ex cruciating agony.

What to do with the old people, those who have worn themselves out in the race of life, is the problem in every country on the globe. Some of the uncivilized races, not having a very high conception of life at the best, put their old men to death when they become helpless and are no longer able to take care of themselves. This barbarous method shocks our moral sensibilities, and yet is it not in reality more humane than the treatment the old sometimes receive at the hands of those who claim to he enlightened and even Christianized? There are today in our almshouses and homes for the aged men who are anxiously waiting for their last hour to come, those too who were once among the most wealthy and useful, the most active and hon ored members of their community. Germany and some of the other countries of Europe have adopted a system of old age pensions. The sub ject has been thoroughly agitated in England the last year and would he the leading question before the com ing parliament were it not that the Boer war has arisen to eclipse every thing else in Britain. The Pennsylvania railroad some years ago adopted a system of relief that has done, and is still doing, an admirable work, which the pension system just adopted is intended to sup plement, not supersede. The Penn sylvania is the greatest railroad in the world in the volume of business it does, and it can justly lay claim to being the most liberal in dealing with its employes. When a man enters the Pennsylvania service he may rest as sured of permanent employment as long as he faithfully performs his duty. The details of the Pennsylvania's pension system are less important than the great humane principle upon which it is founded. At the beginning of this year nearly 1,000 old employes were retired on pension. All employes of the Pennsylvania system east of Pittsburg and Erie who have attained the age of 70 years and all officers and employes between the ages of 65 and 69 who have been 30 years in the ser vice of the company were retired and placed on the pension list. The amount paid is 1 per cent for each year of service on the average monthly salary for ten years past. Therefore, the man who has been in service 30 years and whose pay averaged SSO per month re ceives 30 per cent of SSO. or sls per month during life, unless the total amount at any time exceeds $300,000, in which case the list would be scaled to make the amount come within the limit. As $300,000 will pay 1,667 men sls a month for a year, it is not likely that any cutting down will ever be found necessary. This last advance movement on the part of the Pennsylvania Indicates both wisdom and goodness on the part of those who conceived it. It will be a bond of good fellowship between em ployer and employe that will insure better service on the part of the one because he feels that it is appreciated on the part of the other.

SIBLEY. \ l'ro|io*itl(n Tlint Would Enable to He Secured Independent of Hankers In TIIUCN of Financial DlMtrunt. The currency bill introduced in con gress by Hon. Joseph C. Sibley de serves the careful consideration of our national lawmakers, and all who are interested in stability of prices and pre vention of financial panics, injurious ly affecting, as they do, all legitimate interests. The bill provides that any holder of government bonds may de posit them with the States treasurer, and receive therefoT 80 per cent of their face value in treasury notes of the same debt paying power as now granted to the notes issued by national banks. During the period of deposit the interest on the bonds shall cease, or be covered into the United States treasury. Upon the surrender of the certificate of deposit, together with payment of treasury notes equal in amount to the sum advanced, the bonds may again be converted to the use of their lawful owner. The merits of such a measure briefly are as fol lows: IT AFFORDS ELASTICITY. It provides for a currency that would automatically expand and contract ac cording to the demands of business. Within the last few weeks money has loaned in New York as high as 186 per cent. During the panic of 1893 money could not be borrowed with govern ment bonds as security. Under the pro visions of the bill introduced by Mr. Sibley in time of financial distress the currency could be expanded, if neces sary, more than $400,000,000. The reason lor naming 80 per cent of the face value of the bonds is that the government shall not be put regularly in the business of loaning money, but merely to lend its power to prevent ex cessive rates of interest or financial disaster. When money is worth more in the open market than the interest on 80 per cent of the face value of the bonds, money would flow out into cir culation. When the interest upon 80 per cent was worth less than the in terest upon the face of the bonds, the currency would flow back into the treasury and the bonds be withdrawn, Mr. Sibley's statement being that both a scarcity of money and a redundancy of money may possess danger, the scar city hindering business and paralyzing Industries, while a too redundant cur rency might provoke speculation and overtrading, which would in the end inevitably invite disaster. Mr. Sibley states that he is not wedded to any fixed percentage to be advanced by the treasury, but any percentage from 50 up to 80 would be satisfactory, as the wisdom of the house may determine. This measure has received a great deal of attention among lawmakers and bankers, one and all agreeing that it has features which entitle it to careful consideration. No one has yet been able to offer a valid objection, but these perhaps may come when the bill is analyzed by the committee on bank ing and currency. PITY THE POOR BANKS. The only objection that has yet been made is to the effect that the banks are in business to loan money and derive their profits therefrom, and should not be subjected to competition through loans made by the government. In reply to this objection Mr. Sibley urges that under the new currency bill which has recently passed the house bankers are enabled to issue money up to the full face value of their bonds, at the same time receiving interest upon the bonds so deposited, and to give to the holder of bonds the privilege of losing his interest, and drawing 60, 75 or 80 per cent of the face value of his bonds docs not subject the bank to any unfair competition, and that the bankers themselves, under stress of financial circumstances, might be great beneficiaries, which would enable them to convert their securities into cash during the prevalence of a panic, which would make a run upon their resources. Mr. Sibley urges that under the pro visions of a law such as this there could not again occur a great financial revulsion, and that the advantages would not be centered in New York or in any great city, but would benefit locally, throughout the entire United States, the community where there, might be a scarcity of money whicn would force rates abnormally high and threaten to create a panic. Secretary Gage declares that the worst character istic of our financial system is its rigidity, and Mr. Sibley's plan certainly would overcome this to considerable extent at least. Senator Hoar's resolutions are giv ing the imperialists more worry than they can stand, and with one accord they are trying to find relief by declar ing they are in favor of them but are opposed to their enforcement. —San Francisco Call. Now it is said that Mark Hanna will be chairman of the Republican nation al committee after all. The adminis tration has evidently recovered from its fear that the presence of the high brahmin of trusts on the committee would be dangerous.—Boston Traveler. McKinley doesn't blaipe Gage for using the treasury for the further en richment of the Standard Oil banks. He feels mortified, however, that the secretary should have allowed himself to get caught at it.—Kansas City Times. The charge that McKinley and his official advisers are under the thumb of the money trust can be proved, If the charges are pressed home and the facts are forced into the light by de termined and persistent action of the Democratic members of congress.— Kansas City Times. The amount of the appropriations for purposes other than usual government expenditure introduced during the first 12 days of the present session of con gress reached $280,845,366, or at the rate of nearly $24,000,000 per da7. — Philadelphia Record.
